So my old HDD was in the process of dying so I backed up all the files I could find onto an external HDD and just got finished putting in a new one. I've been going through reinstalling programs until a ran into an issue with 6 ubi soft games I had bought online. Apparently ubisoft doesn't store your downloads unless you pay extra which I didn't realize so the files I need I hope are on my old HDD.
Now that you know why I'm asking here's the question. Can I simply put my old HDD back in my PC as a slave even though it still has WIN 7 on it, or will this cause stability issues. I know that in theory the computer boots up based on boot order, but with as buggy as win 7 can be I don't know if there will be problems.
If I cant just put in as a slave to search it, I'm going to need to swap out the new one for the old one, then back to the new one again.
